Callie Ryan is a Los Angeles based electronic musician and vocalist who creates textured compositions with a vulnerable and intentional foundation whilst aiming to invoke feelings of tenderness and self-reflection. Her projects document the search for a balance between the masculine and feminine, as well as presenting fluid feelings of ever-changing physical, emotional, and sexual anxieties and gratitudes alike. Exploring our abject and unaddressed internal anatomical systems and their connection to our feelings and actions is a core foundational brick for Callie’s compositions. She works to express tangible gut responses through emotive and detail-oriented sonic production.

Callie is a resident DUBLAB DJ, and has performed alongside artists such as Visible Cloaks, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Sage Caswell, Kelman Duran, Harriet Brown, Aisha Devi, Loscil, Leech, Violence, Daedelus, Jimmy Tamborello (DNTEL) and more. She has presented both her live set and consciously curated DJ sets in spaces such as LACMA (Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art), David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption, the 2018 Ableton Loop Summit, and the Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco. This past October Callie returned from her first East Coast tour in support of her most recent record, HEALTH, which was released via the Los Angeles label, Outside Insight. The stream for HEALTH was first released and reviewed by i-D Magazine, and the music video for her single, Paste, was premiered via Vogue Magazine.

Callie recently completed her first film score for LADYWORLD, a feature length film directed by Amanda Kramer, a respected filmmaker and founder of the LA dance label, 100% Silk. Thus far LADYWORLD has premiered at the Marche du Film Buyers Showcase at Cannes, Fantastic Fest, the BFI London Film Festival, and the Denver International Film Festival.

As a result of Callie’s continual exploration of themes of the body and brain, Callie works in the medium of sound installation in order to convey that which cannot be expressed with sound alone. In the past, her works have included techniques such as metal fabrication, analogue circuitry, digital sound manipulation, painting, and more. These methods have assisted her in a quest to make works which create a safe space for viewers to observe structures which mirror both the processes and sounds of our own bodily systems.
